Climatic Changes in the Himalayan Hills

Monsoon is a complex phenomenon which is influenced by both local and
regional factors including, inter alia, snow fall in the Himalayan
region, sea surface temperature in the southern Indian Ocean, Solar
insulation and Land heating. While thickness of snow in Himalayan
region has relationship with the Indian Monsoon, the monsoon failures
have not always been influencing the change in the Himalayan snow, as
there are other factors that control the monsoon circulation.

Consultations amongst South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation
(SAARC) and other region fora take place regularly to evolve
coordinated plans to address, inter-alia, environmental problems in
the region.
